Writing About a Controversial Subject
In the discussion forums for this course, you've had the opportunity to read and respond to a variety of controversial topics: immigration, stereotyping, and civil disobedience. In this assignment, you will write an argumentative paper based on any of these topics.
Take your own premise--whatever premise you offered in our discussions throughout the course--and expand on that idea throughout this piece of writing. Or, you may develop a new premise, tying all topics together, and using the articles as supporting evidence.
Note: If you used a previous response to inform your Researched Argument Paper, you cannot use the same topic again.
Your essay should contain the following: 1.a clear thesis and introduction 2.two or more points supporting your position 3.at least one point of contention 4.a refutation of each opposing viewpoint 5.and a conclusion
You can review the articles from the discussion forums, but no external sources/research should be included.
This essay will be evaluated on the strength and completeness of your argument, not on formatting or your grammar/usage skills (provided they do not affect the clarity of your thoughts).
